TREB predictions for 2020:
1) GTA sales - calling for 97,000, which would be ⬆️9,200 (+10.5%) and make it 3rd highest volume ever.
2) GTA avg price - saying $900,000 (+9.8%). Detached (highest $ amounts) would have to get a lot higher in the mix.
TREB Prediction history... /1 Image
I have a spreadsheet for that. 🤓 First, transactions. Let's just say they haven't been the second coming of Nostradamus. Last year was first time they were within 10% in last few years, anyway. Feeling pretty bullish going into 2020, esp. if inventory low. /2 Image
Now price. They actually have a better record at this, nailing 2 of the last 3 years. $900K seems aggressive to me, so I'd guess they'd be banking on big sales gain in detached to pull that up. However... /3 Image
TREB states that "Sales growth will be driven by the higher density low-rise market segments (semi-detached houses and town houses) and the condominium
apartment segment." If there's more condos in the mix that will drag down overall average, even if they're gaining in price. /4
I'll take the under on transactions and average price. See you in a year to see how this plays out! 🔮#torontorealestate /5

Weekly Active Listings update: 🚨WILD ONE!🚨

Crazy shifts this week as the fall market has officially kicked off. 🍂

Let's start with Freeholds. Note that weekly bump. Higher than any fall in the last 7 (but for one week of 3,040 in 2018) and it's only first week of fall season. 🧵/1Image
The week-over-week (w/w) change was ⬆️428 listings for Freeholds (houses). Below's the equivalent week in the last 7 years. Usually the weeks leading up to and including Labour Day ⬇️w/w and then things start to grow.
2018 +324
2019 +258
2020 +320
2021 +248
2022 +135
2023 +213
2024 +428

Here's a different look. Number of Freehold listings 0-7 DOM:
9/3: 314 (was 298 week before)
9/10: 962

Tripled! Now, a bunch of those are going to be re-listings ("Hey let's terminated and put it back fresh after Labour Day"), but a bunch are brand new too. /3

Here's a rental eviction story a friend of mine is letting me share, from the N12 notice (family member) to the recently concluded LTB hearing. So grab a ☕️, sit back 🪑, and read this 🧵 to see the outcome. /1
July 2020 - "I texted him at 9:30am asking about cockroaches I had seen in the apartment in the last few weeks.. he replied a few hours later asking me if the type and let me know his mom would be moving in.. all in the same message with the 🙏at the end. Next day sent N12." /2
He'd lived there 9 YEARS.

"I had a feeling it was bullshit but really what could I do with no proof.. I was tempted to stay and wait for it to get tied up in the LTB, some part of me believed it was possible he was being truthful."

I bet so many tenants feel this same way. /3

Since CBC Marketplace likes investigating, I thought I'd do my own investigation on the house in the Real Estate "exposé" that aired last night, which centered around this house in Vaughan. Here's a bit more info for you in this 🧵/1
The owner was complaining about how they listed on the MLS offering to pay 1% commission to the "co-operating brokerage" (buyer's agent), which is short of the more common 2.5% commission offered in the GTA market. She claimed that agents were "steering" their clients away. /2
The CBC investigation with the large sample size of 3 agents, found 2 of them appearing to discourage their buyers (don't know if they were actually clients because they didn't mention if they'd actually signed Buyer Representation Agreements, which is no small matter). /3

So CBC is running a show tonight (which I'm PRVing). Here's the article previewing it. I got emails this afternoon from TRREB and OREA about it this aft, so it might be getting some play.

I'll share the emails and my criticisms of the CBC here... /1
cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…
Here's what TRREB had to say. /2
Here's the Sept 2nd RECO bulletin referred to by TRREB above, and in the article where it said RECO "issued a notic ice about steering to the over 93,000 real estate agents, brokers and brokerages under its purview." /3

TRREB has released its September #torontorealestate numbers. They like to accentuate the stats that would indicate everything is awesome, but let me point out 5⃣ STATS SHOWING MARKET COOLING ❄️ /1
First let me say it's not a COLD market yet by any means. But problem is everyone just likes to look at YoY change. When you think about it, 12 months is a somewhat arbitrary period to compare to. So September sales are way ⬆️(42%) and average prices are also ⬆️ (14%) /2
1⃣ AVERAGE YoY PRICE GROWTH IS SLOWING.

In July it was +16.9%
In August it was +20.1%
In September that slowed right down to +14.0%

Note a good chunk of the price growth is due to mix (less condo apts, more detached). /3

Some weekly #torontorealestate sales numbers in this thread. Firstly, week over week pattern this year continued to follow same as last year (only couple of deviations on here, main one being Labour Day one week later this year). /1 Image
The total sales in the 416 in the past 4 weeks cumulative have been just 1% below 2019, with this week being flat. /2 Image
But "tale of two cities" continues, with freehold (lowrise houses) selling stronger than last year and condos (apts and townhouses combined) selling weaker of late (and didn't show the huge "pent-up demand" that houses did. /3 Image
